So very sorry for you Leslie, and your families’ loss. Jim is a great person and I pray that God has a special place for him in heaven. Linda and I feel a personal loss of his friendship and kindness. No matter where you would meet him, he was always cheerful and open to conversation. He was truly a friend to this community.
God bless Jim.

Leslie – I heard about Jim’s passing through the “back door”. Cannot believe – I was present when Jim proposed to you at Pratsers! Cannot believe – 30 years ago. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Blessings!
